The recipe I’m about to share is the same one my sister prepared for me on the first snowy day a few years ago (read the story here). 

It’s the very recipe that I still enthusiastically make on cold winter afternoons for the few adventurous friends who come to visit me here in the middle of nowhere. Today, however, having become more mindful of my diet but not wanting to give up the taste of sweets, I’ve decided to replace some ingredients to create something flavorful yet not too heavy on my stomach. So, alongside the original ingredients, I’ll indicate you the ones I occasionally substitute, so you can have the “healthier version” of the recipe too.

Lastly, the shape you give to the biscuits is up to you, Laura’s biscuits didn’t have any specific shape. They took on the shape of her hand or the spoon she used to place the dough on the baking sheet. But we liked them that way because what mattered was being together.

If you want to decorate them with icing, create special shapes, or even color them, go ahead! Let your imagination run wild and capture what snowflakes evoke for you.
